OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, January 16, 1902.
We are engaged in the unholy
office ot crushing a republic, were
the words with which the venera
ble senator from Massachusetts
startled his complacently self-sat
isfied colleagues on the floor of the
senate on Thjev were ,
followed by a severe’ arraignment I
oi the course of the administration
in the Phillippine Islands. Among
other things, Senator Hoar said
that he had heard of the investiga- j
tion of a pioceeding which if true
“has covered with a foul blot the
flag which we all love and honor.”
He urged upon his colleagues the
advisability of an in
vestigating committee to which
senators and people could appeal
for the verification or refutation of
some of the frightful stories which
were being brought back from the
islands by soldiers are civilians.
The senator sought to relive, from
the responsibility of a coursesyhich #
might bring odium upon the ad
ministration, his colleague, Senator
Lodge, but the latter, apparently
fearful of entrusting so important
a matter to a committee not as
thoroughly in touch with the exec
utive branch of the government as
is his own, protested so vigorously
that Senator Hoar finally yielded
and the resolution was referred to
the Phillippine committee.
Speaking on the subject last
night, Senator Lodge said thaf he
did not imagine that any report on
the resolution, which calls for an
investigation of the war in the
Phillippines, tliuuliF.be* made, al
though he adrnltted that “for the
general information of his com
mittee’’ Governor Taft might be
asked to appear before it and ex
plain the needs of the islands.
Whether Senator Lodge was per
fectly frank in the matter is not
known, but another member of the j
Philippines committee assured me j
that the public had not heard the j
last of Senator Hoar's resolution j
and that it was likely to precipi
tate a bitter fight in the senate
later on. He also intimated that
it might be necessary to send a
sub committee to the Phillippines
as soon as congress adjourned in
order that the committee might
know for itself the real status ot
affairs. Senator Carmack of Ten
nessee said, after the senate ad- 1
journed, that the democrats had ;
intended to introduce a resolution j
similar to that introduced by Sen j
ator Hoar, that he was fearfui that j
thi Phillippines committee would
fail to report on the resolution,
but that the democrats would :
bring the matter up on the floo of (
the senate and that a state of affairs
most embarrassing to the adminis
tration was likely to develop, i
There are a number of congress- j
men who have been to the Phillip
pines and, while they have held
their fire for an opportunity, it is
bound to blaze sooner or later.
Some of the democrats believe that
the basis of the next campaign will
be ia u in the senate when this
matter comes i p for discussion.
Today Senator Lodge will report
his PhillippiiK- tariff bi l and Sena
tor Cuiberson v ill make a vigor
ous attack on ts provisions He
will receive thd support of practi
cally the entire democratic side as
well as of Senator Mitchell of Ore
gon who told me last night that he
favored free trade with the Phillip
pines because of the commercial
advantages which would result to
the entire Pacific coast An effort
will also be made to attach to the
Phillippine bill a provision for
reciprocal relation with Cuba.
Senator Mason is doing yeoman’s
work for the latter cause and on
Tuesday delivered a speech on the
general subject ot reciprocity con
cluding with the words, "nothing
can excuse us from honorable and
fairtrade with Cuba. We paid a
mighty price in blood and treasure
for the change (in Cuba) and the
American conscience will demand
that our relations with Caba must
close upon the same lofty plane
upon which they began.”
The isthmian canal hasmadelit

cross-euiamined M. Lampre and
yesterday told me that he was

a’ le senator from Alabama has not
changed his preference* for the
Nicardg.uajn route, but failed to
demonstrate that there was any
connection between the trans-conti
&ntul railroads and> the Panaimi
company, and the Panatna rouro
has made many friends.
The first gun in the fight for
tariff revision was fired on the 14th
when Representative Babcock in
troduced his bill tor the reduction
of the Dingley tariff on -iron and
steel. The biH is very carefully
drawn and is calculated to meet
the objections of all rational pro
tectionists. Only the extremists
can seriously object to it and it
#nay prove to be wedge
that will split the majority in the
house. There is soiim talk of an
other bill which will remove the
oWDutch flowwitfg b|4lbs and
which, if ft niateriali^eS^VrH*fe
sult in the introduction of a bill
providing for such reduction by
Representative Tawney, of Min
nesota. I mentioned this matter
once before, but at that time it was
believed that the object of the Min
nesota members could be attained
under the reciprocity clause of the
Dingley bill. That may still be
the case, but there are some mem
bers of the Minnesota delegation
who are opposed to what they call
“legislation by theexecutivebranch
of the government” and they favor
a straight bill simimSto that in
troduced by Mr. Babcock.
Ttie resignation of Richard Cro
ker from the leadership of Tam
many Hall and his succession by
Mr. Nixon has occasioned much
speculation among the democrats
in congress as have also the ru
mors that are being rec ived to the
effect that David B Hill is seek
ing the party leadership. Senator
James K. Jones has expressed
himself as very favorably impos
ed with Mr. Nixon and as believ
ing that he would make a strong
and capable leader. The election
of Senator Gorman is also a matter
of great interest and there are
many who regard him as the log
ical candidate for the presidency.
A member of the house said yes
terday, “Senator Gorman will be
come the leader of the democratic
forces m the senate and will make
a record in that capacity which
will earn for him the unqualified
support of his party throughout
the country. If he lives and pre
serves his health, he will be our
next president.”

Little Homer Barron.
On January 6th, just as the mid
night hours were slowly passing
out, and the dawn of anew day
was fast approaching, the angel of
death crept to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. E. Barron and claimed the
spirit of their little babe who, for
two years, had been his mother’s
pride and father’s joy. Little
Homer is missed so much, but we
know he is safe in the arms of
Jesus to rest forevermore. While
the grief of the parents is unspeak
able, may they look beyond the
dark cloud that, overshadows their
home to the morning of joy when
they can meet Homer, where no
farewell tears are shed. Dear
parents call not back the dear de
parted, he is sleeping that sleep
that knows no waking. It was so sad i
to sit by him and take those little j
icy hands But when the last mo
ments came he looked up and
smiled, as we could say .for him, j
Lord I am coming home.
